Description
CertLedger is a blockchain-based Certificate Authority (CA) framework aimed at enhancing the security, integrity, and trust of online communications and digital identities. This innovative project seeks to alleviate certificate-related attacks, such as man-in-the-middle and phishing, by leveraging blockchain technology for storing and managing digital certificates, ensuring they are tamper-proof and verifiable in real time. Unlike traditional methods that rely on Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) or Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses, CertLedger simplifies the revocation and validation of digital certificates, leading to increased transparency, decreased verification latency, and bolstered trust among users and organizations. It uniquely addresses the vulnerabilities of conventional Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems and the shortcomings of Certificate Transparency (CT) and related models by eliminating split-world attacks, thereby offering a more secure, efficient, and universally trustworthy certificate validation process. This positions CertLedger as a pivotal solution for entities requiring secured digital certificate services like SSL/TLS certificat...
